I wouldn't plant a seed or transplant without considering the phase of the moon and zodiac sign first. When it comes to planting a seed indoors or out. I am sure the moon phase & corresponding sign have a lot to do with the seed's germination and plant growth rate. I'm a believer and practice gardening by the moon and always have (40+ years) though I realize that there may or may not be any scientific facts to base my beliefs on (except my own happy results). I've grown gardens in fields, raised beds, and small pots. The plants always turn out beautiful. Folklore is overflowing with tales of successful commercial farmers and home gardeners that believed only in this system.Gardening by the moon is an ancient practice and there are many variations but it really is simple, and it works.

Would anyone believe that good germination and growth occur when you sow seeds 48 hours before a full moon?

I hope some of you will give gardening by the moon a try this season - it's fun.
